SET: Crossing Borders

Stronger Economies Together is a proven, highly interactive program that promotes rural economic development. The purpose of SET is to strengthen communities by working together and developing plans that will aid in furthering economic development in their region. Four counties in NORA’s region worked together recently to develop a strategic plan for Adair, Cherokee, Delaware and Sequoyah counties (dubbed Crossing Borders Region) through the SET program, which is supported the US Department of Agriculture and facilitated by Oklahoma State University Extension.
